How ‘Ok Uploaded by a Telegram User’ Leaked 967 Email Logins

A Telegram Combolist Leaked 967 Email and Password Pairs

HEROIC analysts found a combolist file uploaded to Telegram in June 2025 containing 967 records of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and associated URLs. The file, labeled "Ok uploaded by a Telegram User," appears to be tied primarily to accounts in the United States.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because these passwords are stored in plaintext rather than hashed or encrypted, anyone who obtains the file can read and use every credential right away. The included URLs tell an attacker exactly which site each login belongs to, making it fast and easy to test the stolen credentials against the real service.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated website URLs

Why This Matters

Small combolists like this one still cause real harm because so many people reuse the same password across several accounts. A single leaked email and password pair can open the door to email inboxes, social media, banking apps, and online stores. That kind of access can quickly turn into account takeover, financial fraud, or identity theft, even from a list of fewer than a thousand records.

How This Combolist Leak Happened

A combolist is a plain text file pairing usernames or email addresses with passwords, typically pulled together from older breaches, phishing pages, or malware that steals saved logins. Unlike a breach of a single company, a combolist can combine credentials from many unrelated sources into one file. Telegram has become a go to channel for distributing these lists because it lets sellers reach buyers quickly and with little oversight.
